Of course, it was a mistake. You know, one makes a lot of mistakes in life. The technical report indicated clearly that it was too hot in summer, but despite that the executive committee decided with quite a big majority that the tournament would be in Qatar.

So it’s the heat! That’s why this is a mistake. Not the incredible human toll and gross misconduct. Don’t pay attention to that.

If the technical report (or even a quick internet search) indicated that Qatar regularly faces daily highs of 106 degrees in July, dropping below 99 degrees only one of every ten days, why would FIFA ever grant the country permission to host the World Cup? June may be a bit cooler, but it’s unlikely it features pleasant playing temperatures. (via)

The only logical conclusion to me, a certifiable slow adult, is that the decision makers at FIFA decided that Qatar was really on another planet. Through the wormhole. And it’s cold in space. Makes perfect sense to me. The only other explanation is that FIFA is run by lizardmen.

Let’s not forget one thing here. Before we get to the Qatar World Cup, they get to take it to Russia. I bet the dogs are running to hide as we speak.

Should have never happened. So many workers from Nepal that are trying to feed their families are basically slaves now.
It is a mistake…WITHDRAW THE BID!
You will have angry rich people mad, but who gives a fuck.
When something is causing people their lives ideas, and actions, should be reevaluated.

No shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. But seriously, next time, just take bribes from countries that are not blistering hot autocracies.

Soooooooooo Qatar’s so awful that the men of FIFA who ignore racism and casually accept huge bribes are now actually feeling bad? Do you have any idea how hard it is to make FIFA officials grow a conscience?
